Comments from the Site Supervisor regarding the intern’s completion and assessment of the objective:
Although Lori has learned to cold catalog, she found using a union database and z sources to be a faster and efficient
way to catalog. Lori processed and cataloged the order she prepared from the book fair. She learned to use the Destiny add titles tab quickly. Most of the titles were already cataloged, however, there were a few that we had to search for. Lori cold cataloged one title using easy MARC. Lori become very proficient cataloging titles and should have no trouble in the future using all the little tricks I taught her.
